Warm and Welcome Spaces Charter

A Warm and Welcome Space is a council or community venue available to residents to visit, spend time, stay warm and feel safe.

These spaces are open to anyone. Visitors won’t be asked why they are there and won’t have to take part in any activities if they don’t wish to.
